What are the best moments when you’ve said “what if…” In robotics?
What if we made a robot that steals the opponents controllers and start controlling their robots?
What if our robot didn’t suck?
What if we survived our mentor’s wrath?
(Our mentor is great, just very scary)
Or, what if there was a water game?
Or, what if there was a water game animation on 1 April?
What if our robot goes rogue and is actually successful in autonomous.
What if our schools best team didn’t destroy us in the semi finals.
What if we actually made it past the round of 16
What if we actually spent time to drive our robot before the competition
What if we actually received our v5 orders on time? To far fetched?
What if I built a vex-noncompatable gearbox and expect it to actually function?
(More on that in a few weeks if all goes well)
What if VCS wasn’t lame?
We’d call it VexCode duh
Want to say this would be more of a Chit-Chat/Rumor Mill discussion.
What if we build a really big wallbot in front of the other alliance side to block their view of the whole field
What if we program a autonomous for the entire match and have no driver
what if we actually are a team
what if we stuck an ultrasonic sensor on a motor and made it spin really fast
so its like LIDAR
but bad
what if you built a wall bot, but instead of blocking the field it blocked your opponents view of the field?
Ok ok hear me out…
What if we fold their skin…
And then measure it!
(inside joke between me and my teammates)
What if our autonomous was actually consistent ?..
Oh wait it already is consistently BAD
What if the cubes this year were only 1 color?
What if games lasted for 2 seasons instead of 1? What if they lasted for half?
What if we had bigger fields and 3 on 3 or smaller fields and 1 on 1?
What if the GDC reverted to the elimination format that was endorsed by an overwhelming majority of competitors rather than the format they dropped on us 2 weeks before worlds without anyone asking for it, that for some reason has been defended by a handful of EPs on the forums?
Oh, and what if 169 and 8059 won worlds this year?
What if people didn’t raid our box for parts and tools.
(we ended up only having 1 tool at one point and currently are low on pretty much everything send help)
I already said that
